How To Buy a Ladies Watch

Many people think that it is hard to shop for ladies watches online. They think that with all the fake knock off brands out there that finding a genuine brand will be difficult. I’m here to tell you, it’s not as hard as you think.

Search: Once you are familiar with the brand of ladies watch you want, get on the internet and search for it. Look for fake knock off brands. To do this, type “how to spot a fake” followed by your brand name in your search engine (google, yahoo, etc.). Read the different characteristics of a fake watch versus a real one. Use those when searching for your watch. Each brand is different and each will have different distinctive things about it that can let you know whether it is real or not.

Reviews: Another thing you can do is go online and read about different watch selling sites. Check out site reviews and see which ones are legitimate and which ones aren‘t. During this process, make sure to bookmark those sites that sell real watches. Believe me, it will make your job much easier.

eBay: Now, once you’ve done all that and you know how to spot a fake watch, hop on over to eBay.com. You see, usually, you aren’t going to find a fake on eBay, but the really great thing about this site is that you can check a seller’s rating and look at their past sales. If a seller doesn’t look legitimate, don’t buy from him/her. And never buy anything if you can’t see a picture of it first.

So those are the tips for online shopping. However, if you are interested in shopping locally, why not try a pawn shop or two?  Pawn shops are great for getting good deals because the stuff sold there is usually genuine high-end merchandise. The only reason it’s there is because someone needed some quick cash and needed to get rid of it. Aside from pawn shops, check out some brand name outlet stores. They’re always a safe bet for some good deals.

The great thing about shopping online is that it is much easier to compare prices. Comparing prices in stores will take much longer, but if that is your chosen route, make sure to always shop around. Never take the first offer. If you follow this advice I’m sure you’ll be successful in finding the perfect watch.

Guide to Replacing Your Watch Battery

Did your favorite watch stop ticking? With all that we have going on in the world today, losing our sense of time is one hassle we can do without. Luckily for you, this quick and easy guide will help you replace your watch battery, so you can go on with your life. Just follow these simple steps and you’ll be fine. NOTE: This guide is for both men’s and women’s watches.

Step 1: Place the watch, face down, on a soft surface such as a towel. Inspect the rear of the casing, and find a tab-like indentation near the rear-edge of the cover. Use a tool with a wedge-head, something dull, like a butter knife or screwdriver. Shimmy the wedge into the back of the indentation. You’re trying to pry it open. NOTE: If there is no tab-like indentation, then hold the watch with a vise and stick the tool into a point where the rear cover meets the watch casing, then wedge it in, tapping it with a rubber mallet.

Step 2: Once you can see the battery, try to see if it is being held in place by a bracket. If this is so, unscrew the bracket using a miniature screwdriver from an eyeglass repair kit.

Step 3: Once you can see there is nothing holding the battery back from its release, simply flip the watch around and tap it lightly so the battery will fall out. Don’t pry it out. You can damage the internals of the watch by tinkering around.

Step 4: Add the new battery to the old battery’s position. Make sure to place it carefully into the watch and to replace anything that was originally holding it there. Realign the back cover and slide the cover opposite the tab-like indentation back into the casing, then press the whole back shell until it snaps into position. Now give yourself a pat on the back. You’re done!

This is an easy process when it comes down to it, but you must realize that certain watches cannot be operated on at home and must be taken to a jeweler for battery replacement. Waterproof watches are vacuum-sealed and any tampering with them may destroy the waterproofing. Also, high-dollar watches should always be brought to a jeweler, because you’d hate to ruin an expensive watch. I hope this guide has helped you out.
